...such activities in the city which has not only the largest local relief population in the U.S. but also has more than its share of white-collar idle. If every man, woman & child in Providence, Birmingham, Dallas, Akron, Oklahoma City and Omaha were on relief they would approximately equal the number of persons in New York City now living on government bounties. They number 1,400,000- one-fifth the total population.* To support them costs about $20,000,000 per month, of which the city supplies onefourth, the State onefourth, the Federal Government one-half. About 17% of them...

A gloved hand poking the muzzle of a gun through a crack in a door, a spurt of flame, a clutched hand, female screams . . . certainly not the equal of the immortal "Thin...

Best known to undergraduates, perhaps, is his "Principles of Economics" which together with his other copious writings has colored the economic thought of the country for almost forty years. Outside of strictly academic pursuits he found myriad interests ranging from Chairman of the Wilson Tariff Commission...
Interesting was the fact that Detroit's exhibition was not assembled by the best known U. S. Persian scholar, Dr. Arthur Upham Pope, but by a member of the Detroit Institute's own staff, swarthy, hook-nosed Dr. Mehmet Aga-Oglu, a Persian scholar of almost equal authority. A Russian-born Turk, Dr. Oglu probably would never have known the difference between the Timurid School (1390-1480) and the followers of Bichiter the Great if his childhood ambition had not been to become a naval officer...
